Michelle Obama has some advice for her successor

After eight years in the White House, Michelle Obama has some words of wisdom for her successor. In an interview on Today, the first lady looked to her 15-year-old daughter for inspiration as she offered up the advice she would give to the next first lady, Melania Trump.

"In the words of Sasha Obama, I'd say, 'Do you," Obama laughed. "I would urge the next person coming into this role to make it your own, because it's believable when it comes from the deepest part of who you are, because this is a powerful platform to make a lot of change."

Obama went on to talk about the things she has accomplished in her role, citing her Let's Move! campaign as her proudest achievement.

"I think that Let's Move! and all the partners, the thousands and thousands of partners, have been a part of reshaping the way we think about what we eat and how we move, and I'm proud of that," she said.
